Maybe it’s a single issue you are concerned about?

My thought is just the reverse. The big government socialists made huge progress on just about everything they care about over the past eight years. Decent Americans are angry and motivated because of the extensive damage to America. If we don't give the far left an issue to rally their voters, we can put this election outside the margin of fraud.

“If we don’t give the far left an issue to rally their voters, we can put this election outside the margin of fraud.”

Ah, so you don’t want a repeat of the Obama election. In the last election, many republicans stayed home. Just not energized enough. Nor was McStain a very energizing figure.

But voter fraud is a serious matter. I bet pollsters factor it in now and just don’t make a big deal about it.

Do you know that police now have license plate auto-scanning capability?

Here in Virginia, the use of such scanning was banned by Governor McAwful — it could flush out almost every illegal immigrant driver in weeks! And the Ruling Class doesn’t want such technology to overwhelm their scheme.

What would that do to voter fraud?

I teach Introductory Psychology and Human Growth & Development.

I’ve structured both courses such that students complete a quiz after the second class. When the quizzes are returned, and the shock over the grade received has worn off, we have a come-to-Jesus meeting during which I inform them (again) that they are now in the big leagues and the policies/practices that allowed them to scrape by in high school are no longer in effect—They are particularly horrified to learn that grade recovery does not exist in my classes.

It’s touch-and-go during the first half of the session, and more than a few bail out; but, by mid-term, the ones who stay have adjusted and are doing the required work, to some degree.

I utilize videos obtained from YouTube profusely to illustrate/expand on main points—Very effective. I also offer non-traditional learning options (e.g., online intelligence/personality tests) which allow those who don’t do well in a traditional lecture environment to stay engaged and accumulate points toward their final grade.

Overall, this approach allows my students to be successful, but only if they do the work. That is probably their biggest learning experience during my courses, and I’ve had several come back later and thank me for setting them straight.

I still have a small percentage that fail or pull “D” grades (~6%), but most pass—There’s a decided positive skew to my grade distribution. This is a gratifying result, considering what I start out with.

Pollsters factor it in through indirect calculations. We (they, now that I retired from that work) observe the differences between expected results and actual results, and that difference is rolled into a single adjustment or set of adjustments in future predictions. The correction is meant to cover fraud (although that is not specifically mentioned), differences in response rates between liberals and conservatives, and other sources of bias and differences between polling data and actual outcomes.
